Quantitative Insights Into β-Lactamase Inhibitor’s Contribution in the Treatment of Carbapenemase-Producing Organisms With β-Lactams

Objectives: Carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) are associated with high mortality rates. The recent development of β-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) has made it possible to control CPO infections safely and effectively with β-lactams (BLs). This study aims to explicate the quantitative relationshi...

The resultant β-lactamase inhibition, BL susceptibility restoration, and their correlation were followed quantitatively for each isolate by coupling FIBA (fluorescence identification of β-lactamase activity) and BL antibiotic susceptibility testing.Results: The β-lactamase inhibition and BL susceptibility restoration are positively correlated among CPOs under the treatment of BLIs. Both of them are dependent on the target CPO’s carbapenemase molecular identity. Of note, without sufficient β-lactamase inhibition, CPO’s BL susceptibility restoration is universally low across all tested carbapenemase molecular groups.

Furthermore, rapid molecular diagnostics for BL/BLI resistances, especially those sensitive to β-lactamase independent BL resistance mechanisms, should be exploited to prevent ineffective BL/BLI treatment.Yanfang FengArend L. de VosArend L. de VosShakir KhanShakir KhanMary St. JohnMary St. JohnTayyaba HasanTayyaba HasanFrontiers Media S.A.articlecarbapenemaseβ-lactamase inhibitorantimicrobial stewardshipβ-lactam antibioticscarbapenem resistanceMicrobiologyQR1-502ENFrontiers in Microbiology, Vol 12 (2021)
